Recently the third release of V2A has come out. The band, set up in 2002, is a British-German project with Kevin Steward and Ines Lehmann being its members. The group has gained some popularity thanks to a peculiar mix of EBM, Cyber Electro and Industrial. However, in my opinion...

Plastique Noir - Affects

Like a good old Joy Division, this release drags in a fully conscious way into a reality of overwhelming feelings, that can break the inwardness of the audience.

Take, for comparison Psyclon Nine with their "Divine Infekt "- this album can be safely called aggrotech. Undoubtedly, on the album Electric Breathing are good songs, like for...
